The Manitoba Railroad will execute
the greatest feat in construction in 1887
that has ever been accomplished in this
country. and IL 10 no less than the par
tial building Of the road by electric
light. Tbe following information vas
obtained 10 day from General Manager
Marvel Of the road: It 10 proposed TO
build $50 miles from the western termi
nus Of the Manitoba road to Great
Falls, Mont, and 80 miles from Great
Falls to Helena. This extraordinary
step IL made necessary because OF delay
ca1sed by negotiations wi,h the North
err Pacific Railroad. This latter road,
which was the only one which could
transport the steel rails TO the other end
OF the proposed route, 50 as TO enable
the Manitoba TO build from both ends
at the same time, placed such q heavy
freight rate upon the transportation OF
the rails that IL amounted to q pFohibi-
ton.
The Manitoba not being willing to
pay what vas regarded as a most txtor-
tionaie rate decided upon another pol
icy, and that was TO build from she east
and toward Helena, and IL that road
does what II nov proposes 10, il will
accomplish the most rapid and exten
sivs piece, Of railroad building ever
Witnessed. The rails will be transport
ed over the Manitoba road. In this way
the Northern Pacific will lose the trans
porIation. amounting to about 800 coo
The contract has been let for the whole
work, which stipulates that IL shall be
completed on or before November 81
next. In order that this may be sccom-
plished the services Of more than 5000
graders will be required, and in laying
the steel the contractors propose to use
q steam trAok-layinR machine, and en-
pioy three separate crews Of men, who
all work eight hours each day, using
electric lights at night. which, il is ex
posted, will enable them to c0mpleie
five miles per day. In this way this
vast work will be done and the
Manitoba will have advanced lie west
ern terminus to within $50 miles Of the
Pacific Coast.
The work will undoubtedly be accom-
plished, and In 1887 will have witnessed
the greatest piece Of enterpEisinR rail
road energy the world has ever seen.
In addition TO graders and track Layers,
large crews Of men will be required to
bold bridges, culverts, water tanks, sta
items, telegraph lines, etc.

AbatIng the Cat Nuisance.

New York newspaper gives the fol-
lowing account of the ingenious device
adopted to stop the nuisance, byayoung
fellow whose sleep was broken by the
vocal performances of cats.
The neighborhood In which the
young man lives Is one Of those most
Astounding in cats. Allowing three cats
to each household In several blocks
around, 1t is estimated that there is q
contingent remainder of several thous-
and cats, without owners or homes, who
disappear mysteriously in daytime, but
gather in the back yards and on the gar
den fences and arbors and shade trees
in that vicinity at night, to interchange
their views on the current topics of the
day. exercise their vocal accomplish
ments and indulge In free fights.
The young man fastened on the top
Of fence board wide enough for the
strlnging upon 1t In PARALLEL lines Of six
wires connected with O strong galvanic
battery In his room.
The board was tempting one for
cat promenades, but the wires were SO
arranged that 1t was not possible for q
cat to walk over them without touching
two at once and getting powerful cleo
trio shock when the switch key turned
on the current.
The first two cats that had the ex-
perlen- got 1t together, and went up
in the air with o simultaneous howl OF
pain and terror. They clawed the at
mosphere while flying, but when they
landed in the yard lay for few mo-
ments as IL they were paralyzed. Then
they got up, shook their paws as II try
ing them, and, with affrig hted looks all
around, stole quietly from sight and
hearing
+" Next big tom cat was allowed to
get on the middle of the board, where
he sat down on his hsunches. looked at
the moon, and began his favorite aria.
He got the current solidly and went up
like y rocket several feet. giving vent to
blood-curdllng yell as he flow.
No more was heard from him that
night.
MANY more cats were fired off the
fence then and on succeeding nights,
until IL is believed that every one about
there knows how 1t feels.
. 1t only startled them into temporary
silence. without injuring them, and
could not be called cruel at all, but it
has evidently given rise to belief
among them that the fence is haunted,
and now they will not 60 near It. Even
In day time they look upon 1t with mani
fest apprehension"

ODDS AND ENDS WOVEN TOGETHER

The question now most frequently
asked. Is As to whether the wOrkIngmen
Of San Antonio are free and indeDend-
ent men, or machines and puppets In the
hands Of manipulatOrs, who can trade
of their votes at pleasure. Recent
events render this question extremely
pertinent. Workingmen should, Of all
men, preserve their right to vote &C.
cOrding to their own judgment, because
their ballots constitute their surest de-
fence against oppression. l should dis
like to know that two or three men in
San Antonio had the autOGratic power of
debating to the workingmen how they
shall vote. Independence of thought
and action 10 the Dir bright OF every
man and ought not be sold for pOridge.
The letters OF Zone Horse Farmer"
about farming, would take much better
If his own farming had been little
more successful. A farmer, who has
succeeded, has right to lecture brother
farmers about their errors, and his adj
vice should possess great weight.
Ii is shameful TO maui and pound the
oountenance of q live count OF the Ger
man empire, in whose veins courses the
